How many pairs of shoes is too many?

I also keep all mine in their boxes. Right now they have a about four shelves in one closet, but I think I can rework the sheets to give them more of the closet as I get more.
 
Being a saddo, I have all my shoes written down so I know exactly how many I have:

Buffalo platform trainers (black)
Two pairs of Camper shoes (black)
Ecco winter boots (black)
Ankle boots from Jones (black)
Hotter shoes for work (black)
Black Rieker sandals for work x 2
Two pairs of Birkenstocks (one black, one brown)
Three pairs flip flops (black, blue & green)
Merrell walking shoes (green suede)
Merrell walking shoes (beige)
North Face Gortex walking shoes
New Balance walking shoes (beige)
New Balance walking shoes (khaki)
Black trainers – Lonsdale
White trainers - Lonsdale
Two pairs of Dr Martens (one black, one brown)

Total: 22
 
Long boots, over-knee boots, short boots, ankle boots, strappy sandalls, flat sandalls, trainers, work shoes, allstars, evening glittery stuff, flip flops, jelly sandalls, pointy ones in bright colours, ankle strap pumps, ballet flats.....more than one of each...how many's that?
 
keep them in their boxes - they can be stacked ceiling high if necessary, or kept undert the bed or on top of the wardrobe - but keeping them in boxes is the key. I've done that for the last 25 pairs or so, and it works really well.

In terms of a total, i'm probably creeping back up to somewhere around 90 again... I do regular culls, though.

Mine are in dust bags in two of those plastic folding crates you can get. I've about 30 pairs. I could get rid of about 10 of those I reckon.
<plans to get rid once arrives home>.
 
No such thing as too many shoes, the only problem I have is not enough storage space. Just had a look round my bedroom:

34 pairs of trainers (casual wear)
1 pair of running shoes (for running in)
2 pairs of astro turf boots (for playing football in)
9 pairs of casual shoes/boots (brown)
1 pair of casual shoes (black)
1 pair of casual shoes (navy)
2 pairs of brogues (brown)
2 pairs of work shoes (black)
2 pairs of flip-flops (for holidays)
